Ultrasound

The Lamaze class was cancelled last night because the instructor had some family issues come up. We'll start next Tuesday. But Q had an ultrasound appointment today, so I still got to see her AND our sweetie girl! :) Ellie is head down, but her body is positioned somewhat diagonally. She's really giving Q a hard time these days. I guess she stretches out sometimes, and practically takes the wind out of Q and makes her nauseous. She had a bit of an episode with that while we were driving and it actually brought her to tears it hurt so much. :( I feel bad for her. She's so eager to be done. I'm hoping that Lamaze over the next few weeks will be out of the ordinary enough to change up her routine and help the time pass.

Anyway, Ellie is growing right on track and the only thing slightly abnormal was the size of her thighs. All that means is that she's going to be tall, which we already knew. :) My daughter and I are going to be sharing shoes and clothes by the time she's 8, I just know it. lol. She weighs about 4 pounds right now and the doctor said that if she continues to grow at the same rate, she'll be between 6 and 7 pounds at birth. That information was just enough to calm Q down a little. She's been terrified that the baby is going to be ginormous since she is carrying so big. ;) The ultrasound tech wasn't able to get a great shot because of the way she was positioned, but here is the best attempt at a profile. :)

I came across your blog on Pinterest. I just wanted to say thank you for doing this blog. After reading your story yesterday I was in tears because ours is so similar. Like, freaky similar! :-) My husband and I will be starting the adoption process sometime this year and this blog has been a great reference for what to expect. Thank you and congratulations!
